MAINISOLATOR
1. Controller enclosure must be
mounted in a vertical position.
2. Ensure mounting method does
not compromise enclosure
weather proof rating.
3. Ensure access to main isolator is
not restricted.
4. Ensure cables/conduits entering
the panel have mechanical
protection and that the
penetrations are sealed and do
not compromise the weather
proof rating of the enclosure.
Note: Controller must be earthed and all electrical connections must be carried out by a suitably qualied Electrician.

GETTING STARTED
The unique MATelec Rain/Mains Water Controller is designed to provide a continuous supply of water for a variety of
uses, whilst prioritising and maximising the usage of Rain Water.
The system comprises a Controller, a unique Valve and a Liquid Level Switch. The controller not only monitors the
level of stored Rain Water, switching the valve accordingly, but also provides a switched output for the control of power
to a pressure pumping system
If Rain Water becomes available, the valve through which Mains Water is being supplied, is automatically pulsed
closed by the controller, and at the same time, the 240Vac pump output contacts are energised.
In the event of either ‘Rain Water Depletion’, “Prime Loss’ (if set up), ‘Power Failure’ or ‘Pump Failure’ the controller
will immediately pulse the valve open, and de-energise the pump output contacts.
The controller has a ‘System Test’ function which, if initiated, changes the status of the system to enable the operator
to check valve and pump function at the press of a button. This test button doubles as a Reset Button to enable the
operator to clear faults without having to enter the live voltage area of the enclosure.
This product is ideally setup for Industrial and Commercial applications such as playing elds, golf courses and large
commercial properties with multiple toilets, where a ’high ow’ system is required. The controller is suited to an outdoor
installation, and is housed in a weatherproof lockable metal enclosure.
OPERATIONS

• Unlimited pump options above ground or submersible
•
• No pressure reducing valves
• No continuously actuated solenoid valves
• Test Button - Provides change of system status, including pump and valve switching
• Indicator Lights provide ‘power’, ‘valve’ and ‘fault’ status information
• Pump protection feature - If Rain Water is depleted, switching of pump output isolates power to pressure pump
system
• Controller can be situated up to 50m from storage tank
• Ideal for Industrial, Commercial and/or Domestic applications
